DONOR EGG Tmt Thread... " Egg-heads"

[Jen1d]

Hi girls

Andrea - Yip, it official your as mad as a hatter
Tried your method of finding out if i'm preggers but ----still inconclusive
Glad you have a trip arranged but hopefully your tickets will have to be resheduled

Kelly - Wow that positive attitude is shining through, wish i could be like that. Hope you had a nice dinner and dh doesn't have a bad back after all the shovelling----i just love the snow.
If i cant log on before your test on the 6th



Passed on your messages to JenB. She just needs some time out from the boards just now. This board and my Octo Chick board i find fine but the Awaiting Treatment board is getting harder by the day as lots of the girls are pregnant------which is great----but hard for girls like me who are not-------YET

I feel nothing at the moment so am sure the result will be the same as all the others but just have to wait and see.

Ok off to work soon, first day back---yuck

Will let you know how i get on with the social worker tomorrow evening.

Love Jen x

Good Morning Jen and Andrea - and any of the other eggheads who log on!!!

Well, my positive attitude is diminshing. Today I am convinced it hasn't worked. I feel slight 'fullness' down below, like AF is about to arrive. She usually shows up around test day - so that would be Wednesday or Thursday this week which makes me wonder if I am feeling PMS. Who knows.

Andrea, how would my uterus and boobs feel if they were 'softened'? I am not even sure I could do that test! I remember with my chemicals my boobs were sore but now I wonder if that was the trigger shot and drugs versus the actually pregnancy. Who knows? I definitely feel different this time as compared to the other 8 tries and I think that is because I didn't do the stim cycle.

These next couple of days are going to be torture!

Jen, good luck at work today and best of luck tomorrow with the social worker!! I can't wait to hear what the process is like! My DH is resistant right now to start wth the adoption process because he wants to exhaust all other options - but maybe after this round (if it doesn't work) than we'll start that process.

Well ladies only 1 week to go! Hope the time flies by!

Hi Everyone

Sorry have not been around for a while but my computer has been playing up but now all sorted.

I have just got back from Barcelona with two grade 9 embies and 2 frozen ones left behind. I am so pleased as before I went to barcelona I was thinking the worst. Now I am on my dreaded to week wait which is awful.

Jen, Kelly and Andrea am thinking of you all.

Jen can't believe it as we were both out in Barcelona at the same time. I had to be out there for EC so stayed there for nearly a week. Had a good time and tried to treat it like a holiday.
Please can you send lots hugs to Jenbabes and Carolyn for me.

I am testing on the 15th. I have had a few twinges which seem to be after placing them pessaries in. Its like a slight stomach ach which does not sound good. I soo hate all the side effects as you never know what they are.

Hi to everyone else. Will catch up soon

Love

Lucy

Hi girls

Lucy - Welcome back babe, we could have had a chat at IM if i knew you were there so long. Glad everything went well and your now home to chill with us on our 2ww.
Will pass on your message to the girls, they are both fine. Jen just needs some time out but is due at IM around the end of Feb and Carolyn is maybe giving it all up but is ok.

Kelly - Now come on Miss K, keep that pma up there, its usually me who is negative, not you. AF feelings can be anything. Some girls feel everything and others feel nothing and still get bfp---just have to wait babe, i know its hard.

Andrea - Thinking of you, hang in there.

Girls we have all been though this enough times to know that we cant think about every twinge---so best not to. I am a great believer that every cycle is different and the medi can make you feel things that might be good or bad so lets just go with the flow and keep everything crossed or you will torture your minds----been there, done that

WE ARE DOING SO WELL GIRLS, HANG IN THERE

Ok catch up tomorrow

Love Jen x

[Jen1d]

Have tried to update the list to help us keep on track---and Anna
If i have made any mistakes, sorry, let me know and i can change them

Love Jen x

Hi girls

GOOD LUCK KELLY FOR TOMORROW!


This 'softening' of the uterus is hard to describe. Usually the fullness associated with PMT is gone and when you push a finger on your stomach there is very little resistance. PLease, please, please ladies - do not take this as a serious test!!! Last time I knew I was pregnant, I also experienced nausea, and a very strong metallic taste in my mouth, all before the 2WW was up. (And even then it was only a biochem). I have since read that experiencing these symptoms at this early stage is quite rare. In my 1st pregnancy (which ended in mc), I just felt completely nothing at this time... So as Jen said, everyone is different and every pregnancy is different. And she is totally right - lets not agonise ourselves any more than we need to - if we help it!!!

Jen - only 6 more days to go till we test!

Good luck Lucy and welcome to our madness!

Hi to everyone else and thanks for putting up with all our self obsessions at this crazy time!

Andrea

[rhall00]

Lucy, Kelly, Andrea and Jen:

Good luck in the next week!! This is very exciting to think of all the amazing new babies as a result of a very productive January! Hang in there, the good news is just around the corner!!

[AMck]

Hi Ladies, just popping in to send a huge bucket of PMA to the 2wwters! Well done to you all for getting this far and for resisting the dreaded HPT.

Kelly, have everything crossed for you tomorrow. Good luck. xx

Jen, Andrea and Lucy, hang in there. Hoping the days fly by for you. Try not to agonise over every little twinge...easier said than done I know! I was convinced my BFP was a BFN, even stopped taking my meds after the HPT said neg. The bloods came back positive 2 days later!!!

Will be watching for the news. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Keep faith ladies, dreams can come true
Take care
Hugs Anna x

[Lucy12]

Jen thanks for updating the chart for me. Hope you are feeling ok roll on next week. Glade to here jenbabes and Carolyn are ok.

Kelly good luck for tomorrow. I have everything crossed for you.

Andrea hope you are keeping busy to keep your mind of things. Must say I am finding this 2ww very hard and keep getting the odd stomach ache and pain in my back like backache. Who knows what this means

Anna thanks for keeping us in your thoughts, hope you and your family are all well.

Speak soon

Love

Lucyxxxxxxxx

Hi Fellow 2wwers!
Okay, I have officially lost it. I am resisting going to the bathroom for fear that I am going to see AF's arrival. So, I am sitting at my desk with my legs crossed and trying to 'wait a little longer'. I suppose what will happen, will happen regardless of when I go pee!

Lucy, Jen and Andrea - I sure hope that you are fairing better than I am.
Thank goodness I'll have an answer tomorrow because I am not sure how much longer I could continue like this.

I guess my concern is that my cramping started yesterday and is here again today. It is too late to be implantation cramping so why would it all of a sudden start if it isn't related to AF. I know everyone has varying symptoms but it just doesn't make sense to me.

Anyway, about 26 hours until I get the news.

Hang in there babe. Are you taking pessaries? As they usually stop af appearing and get you to test date. I think you have done well so far so lets hope the cramping is a good sign. Do you normally get cramping with af?








Here for you. What time will you find out tomorrow?

Love Jen x

PS - Andrea and Lucy hope you are both ok and keeping up that PMA

Had the social worker over re adoption and its all go. We have forms to fill out then she will visit next Wed and give us a date for the classes and our Adoption Panel. Glad its all moving forward but had to lie about ivf being finished----got a prob if we have a pos result this time but bring it on
